Ghana Discontinue New Mobile Lines Activation MTN

The Ghanaian National Communications Authority, NCA, has directed MTN, one of the leading mobile phone operators in Africa to stop the activation of new access lines until its network is properly expanded to take additional capacity.

It was also stopped from issuing more lines.

Ms Mawuena Dumor, the Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, said the company had complied with the directive and had also made a decision to stop further sales of starter packs.

According to her, the company is also facing challenges in acquiring land to build cell sites.

The Nigerian Experience

The services of the South African company in Nigeria has equally suffered many set backs due to poor services. Consequently, the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, early this year ordered the stoppage of MTN expansion promotions.

Glomobile, Celtel and the Mtel mobile telecommunications companies were also sanctioned for inefficiency.

The Ghanaian Communications regulatory authority has given both the MTN and One Touch mobile company a November 8 deadline to improve their networks and interconnectivity or risk further sanctions.
